Weeks after the earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people and flattened much of Port-au-Prince, rubble is still being cleared but a new political landscape is already forming. Journalist Avi Lewis travels to the capital and to the Plateau Central to trace where billions of dollars in pledged international aid are actually going, and who gets a say in spending it. He walks through tent cities that have replaced entire neighborhoods, visits UN and US-run food distribution points, and sits in on donor conferences and boardroom meetings at international financial institutions where the shape of the 'new Haiti' is being decided. The film sets ordinary Haitians living in camps against foreign officials and financiers drafting reconstruction plans, showing how little overlap there is between the two conversations. Landmarks like the collapsed national palace and cathedral serve as visual markers of how much has changed and how slowly. The film's real question is who rebuilding is actually for: the displaced families still waiting for permanent housing, or the donors and investors setting the terms of recovery.
